Fit Friday!!!

Virginia Beach Countdown: 38 days!!! I know it's going to get here in the blink of an eye, because June is FLYING. I just want to sleep at night for a week straight. Is that so much to ask?!

Anyway--So, I was down in my basement yesterday, getting ready to work out, and I swear I felt like someone was watching me. I looked out the window, and this is what I saw:

Weird. I text messaged my friend Sally about it, and her response? "Maybe he read your blog and he wanted to see what all the buzz was about". I laughed.

Moving on, how about some interesting health related links on this Fab Fit Friday?

**Did mom ever tell you to stop reading in dim light because you'll ruin your eyes? That myth, and 6 more, are debunked here.

**This really isn't health related...but the frog picture above reminded me of it. (Follow me here, frog picture..frogs eat flies...) Have you seen the video of President Obama swatting a horse fly during an interview and then picking it up and throwing it away? (Ohhh Barack you are sooo wonderful and funny hardy har har har, Note the sarcasm.) Anyway- Now, PETA is flipping out, saying Barack Obama needs to be more sensitive to the Earth's creatures. You know what I say to that? Eff you, PETA, and the stupid horse you didn't ride in on because that would qualify as animal cruelty.

**I found this story very interesting because I've never read anything similar. Apparently, if you want to be a lean, mean, muscle making machine, you better stop taking The Pill.

That's all I got. Peace out.

Fit Friday!!!

First things first...I can FINALLY have a clear conscience, the weight on my Ohio State driver's license is no longer a lie. Now that I've 'fessed up, I will keep my license hidden away so no one can see the number on it (which I still think is a LITTLE high).

I'm also proud to announce I have found a bikini that doesn't make me throw up in my mouth at the thought of donning it in front of people. Here's a pic of the top...and although her stomach might be flatter, I have the upper hand because I fill the cups out better.

My goal for this summer was to be in decent shape before we went to the beach at the end of July, and I'm close to meeting it! I'm down about 12 pounds from January, and if it sounds like I'm gloating...it's because I am!! All I have to do to keep myself motivated is to look at this picture of myself, taken a few years ago when Leah and Kate came to visit me in Youngstown. LOOK AT MY CHUBBY FACE!!! It's ok, you can say it...I know. I look bloated, to say the least.

I don't know about you, but I'm always fascinated when I read those articles about how many calories are in our favorite restaurant foods. My mom sent me this link, and even though I've read it all before, it still makes me think twice before ordering. But, as my mom also pointed out...it REALLY makes me want a little fried mac and cheese.

As always on Fit Friday's, I'm giving a shout out to The Fit Wife, who most recently reviewed some of Lifetime's new reality shows.

I know this is a stretch, but I suppose I'll also give a shout out to Mr. Steve Braband, whose blog talks sports, sports, and more sports. Sports= exercise, as long as you're not just watching them on the Boob Tube.

Have's to a wonderful weekend!!
